The 5K Foam Fest
Get ready to get FILTHY clean with 5k Foam Fest!
What in the world could possibly be more fun than running through a course chuck full of mud, foam, and obstacles? Running through it with your friends, of course! Check out our video to see how much fun you can have together! Well, you’ll need bodies. So grab your friends, neighbors, co-workers, and family members and get them registered! Your team can be as big as you want. And remember, the only way to make sure you all get to run in the same wave is to register early and together, so don’t wait! Otherwise we can’t guarantee that you’ll be flying around in foam with your friends.
If you are looking to beat a world record or run so hard that you nearly lose bowel control then you might be disappointed. The 5K Foam Fest is not a hardcore race it is a FUNCORE race. The goal is to have fun while running. We will have a race clock at the end of the race so you can internally take note how fast you ran the race but you will not be given timing chips and we encourage you to focus on the fun aspect of the race rather than the speed.
It is a festival after all!! So be sure to come early and bring your friends and family. We’ve got several activities including our foam pit, mini inflatable obstacle course, and bounce house. We even have activities for the kids at heart! Like our Skyfall (A 25’ drop onto a airbag/stunt bag)!

What You Get:

Course Description:

Although this looks like the funnest 5K on the Planet (and it really is) it can also be challenging. No matter what level of runner you are, we want to ensure that you make the race whatever you want by having the option to Walk it, Run it, Charge it or Fun it! With well spread-out heats and limitations, this allows for a straight shot of 5K with 16-20 obstacles and low wait times. With that being said, we’ve had runners feel that the course is just as good of a workout as some of the longer and more physically demanding race courses due to less resting time. Let’s be realistic anyway, how could running through a non-stop 5K course of mud, foam and obstacles not be a workout. If you crave more of the amazing features including loads of foam, slides, mud, bouncing, water and wickedness, then why not run again at only half the price!

The event is owned and operated by a group of Canadians whom are former Professional Athletes and Olympians with the main focus being the runner and their experience. We strive for a fun for all ages, abilities and family friendly event and yes, you can still get a beer and have a good time while your kids play in the super fun festival area setup for them with inflatables, music and more!

Aid Stations:

Two water stations on course
Paramedics on course and at start/finish area

Spectators:

It is a festival after all!! So be sure to come early and bring your friends and family. We've got several activities including our foam pit, inflatable obstacle course and bounce house. We even have activities for the kids at heart! Like our Skyfall, Big Baller, and Wrecking Ball!
